OF internal revenue taxes, except on IL
quors, as will prevent the accumulation
OF a surplus in the National Treasury
and we denounce any attempt 10 abolish
the tax on liquors for the purpose OF
keeping up the present unjust unequal
and Onerous tariff system
OF course we know the trick Of saving
the protective tariff by unloading the
surplus on liquor and tobacco but while
an immense number of people favor the
tax on liquors simply from moral grounds
the same does not apply 10 the tobacco
tax.
The point is to get down TO the bed
rock Of the whole question Of tax rcduc-
tios and tighten the burdens where they
are uniusily laid on and heavily felt. We
should say that fruit Installations should
be free or nearly So because they do not

bacco. 1t bears on the countenance of
the thing the features Of absurdity and
injustice to tax foreign articles Of popu-
lar use fifty per cent. merely to protect
domestic monopoly at higher prices
The platform is an excellent one. 1t is
sound In its positions on the tariff, the
surplus, the restriction Of corporate
power. the retention Of the public lands
for settlers, home rule, and other ques-
tons. 1t indorses Mr., Cleyeland's Ad-
ministration Indeed the majority was
determined that the position Of the Con

not be doubtful.

Bearing in mind the smart tactical ma
noeuvre Of the Protecuonisis to abolish
the internal revenue entirely in order to
wipe out the surplus and render the pres
ent war rate Of tariff necessary, it is
worth while TO note that the internal rev
enue taxes have been greatly reduced and
that It looks wise and just TO reduce
the import taxes from the war rate first
and then, when we can Afford II, abolish
the internal revenue completely.
